Stopping

Ifyoumuststoptheforwardmotionofthemachinewhile mowing,aclumpofgrassclippingsmaydropontoyourlawn. Toavoidthis,moveontoapreviouslycutareawiththeblades engaged.

KeepingtheUndersideoftheMower Clean

Cleanclippingsanddirtfromtheundersideofthemower aftereachuse.Ifgrassanddirtbuildupinsidethemower,the cuttingqualityeventuallybecomesunsatisfactory.

Itisbesttocutonlyabout1/3ofthegrassblade.Cutting morethanthatisnotrecommendedunlessgrassissparse,or itislatefallwhengrassgrowsmoreslowly.

AlternatingtheMowingDirection
